Jake Fruia of HDSLR Shooter rounds up what's new in the updated apps for Creative Cloud (now available for download) along with some tips.
He writes, "A couple of things before updating though. First, don’t delete your current CS6 Apps until after you have installed the new CC versions of the apps. When installing the new versions, they’ll ask you if you want to import your settings and plugins from the older versions. Once you say yes, they import your settings automatically. This can save you some time and potential frustration. After you’ve imported your setting and plugins, you should be able to delete the CS6 versions of the apps from your machine with no problems."

Didn't get enough of Leonardo DiCaprio partying it up like a billionaire playboy in The Great Gatsby? Then watch the just-released trailer for Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, set to a new Kanye West tune (much like Gatsby was set to a Jay-Z soundtrack).
Writes Oliver Lyttleton of Indiewire, "Scored to Kanye West's "Black Skinhead" (from his ace new record Yeezus), it does seem to be a white-collar ancestor to Goodfellas and its ilk, but with a gonzo comedy feel that we're not sure we've seen from Scorsese since After Hours. From the brief footage we can see, there's a post-Django looseness tovLeonardo DiCaprio's starring performance that makes it seem like he's having much more fun than his angsty earlier roles for the director."

Jonny Elwyn of Premiumbeat breaks down some of the pros and cons of the three main pieces of editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer and Apple Final Cut Pro X.
He writes, "As a decade long loyal and faithful FCP editor the time seems to be coming (maybe I’m the last to realize!?) of the true death of FCP7. When you start to encounter workflow slow downs and workarounds that would not otherwise be needed when working in up to date applications, it feels like its time to start looking around at other options.
"The options are still basically what they were 5 years ago (the big three A’s – Apple, Avid, Adobe) so that hasn’t changed, but at the same time a lot has changed."
